Chapter 761 - Shelling without warning
On the second day after the representatives of the "Holy Blood Guild" were expelled, a large number of unfavorable remarks about Chen Fei quickly appeared in the streets of Yangjing City where mercenaries gathered. Star spy, deliberately leading mercenaries to kill people, the purpose of hiring is unknown, etc. Various conspiracy theories have spawned various stories, almost all of which are brainless, irresponsible, evidence-free and unreasonable rumors. They have given full play to the public opinion, and their purpose is not only to obstruct Chen Fei. He even tried to blacklist him from the industry and expel him from the southern part of the mainland.
After the conflict with the ugly local snake, something like this happened immediately, which was not beyond Chen Fei's expectation.
But he did a copycat job, spent hundreds of thousands of stars, and found a lot of black materials about the "Holy Blood Guild" to fight tooth for tooth, eye for eye, not only word of mouth, but also printed and distributed They issued leaflets and newspapers and mobilized the masses to fight against the masses. This wave of tricks was very smooth.
The two sides are engaged in a public opinion war, with unexpected results in hurting each other. The local snake "Holy Blood Guild" is gradually unable to resist.
Chen Fei had just arrived, and he had almost no clues to grasp. All the rumors could not be substantiated. On the contrary, the "Holy Blood Guild" had been operating for many years, and dirty information was inevitable. If there were witnesses and cases, they would be exposed in minutes. Xiang, among them there are also some mercenary guilds with certain intentions who secretly add fuel to the fire.
This time a big rock named "Chen Fei" hit him in the foot. The "Holy Blood Guild" was quickly overwhelmed by the turn of public opinion and had no time to take care of itself. Even the guild's business began to shrink. , many mercenaries turned to other guilds, and there were rumors among the parties involved Chen Fei was still active in Yangjing City, and the senior management of Mi was so frustrated that they were about to spit out a mouthful of blood. They began to wonder if they had picked up the wrong rumor script, and why they punched a hundred times with all their strength. This time, not only was the other party uninjured, but he casually stretched out his hand and scratched his face with blood.
However, the rumors against Chen Fei were not without effect. There were still some small mercenary teams who did not know the truth and chose to stay away from Chen Fei for fear of getting into trouble. However, this situation did not cause much damage. influence.
Fortunately, before officially issuing the employment commission, Chen Fei met with some powerful mercenary team leaders in advance, and successfully established a social circle with a certain degree of influence, so that he would not be truly fooled by those untrue remarks. To slander.
After issuing the second commission, the "Setting Sun Guild", which was once again responsible for the agency, quickly recruited enough mercenary combatants, and the fully loaded transport airship took off again.
Among this group of people, Chen Fei discovered several hosts of alienated parasites.
He immediately contacted Bartona, the Commander-in-Chief of the Southern Theater Command of the Taisa Empire's Restoration Army, and confirmed from the parasitic species "Taga" that there were other royal species standing on the same side as it, all of whom were An alien who is willing to coexist peacefully with other creatures.
Although this newly confirmed royal species has chosen the evolutionary direction of the ninth stage branch, it is not the main body of the alienated parasites in Nandu City.
Its alienated parasitic offspring basically rely on picking up corpses or seriously injured humans as parasitic targets. They have never actively killed humans. After parasitism, the offspring actively enter a dormant state and never annihilate the host's consciousness. , those hosts that retain ontological consciousness do not even know that they have been parasitized.
If what "Taga" said is true, it means that there is more than one special royal species spreading alienated parasites in the Zhailiuzhou continent. How many of them are benevolent and how many are hostile? This is That's what really causes headaches.
Just because he was considering getting the latest information from inside the parasitic species, Chen Feicai did not choose to kill them all regardless of goodwill or hostility.
Otherwise, if we push the aliens like "Taga" back to their original position as parasitic species, they will find things to do for themselves when they have nothing to do, and create difficulties for themselves when they have no difficulties.
-
The destination of the second sortie of the airship battle group is somewhere on the dividing line between the southern and eastern parts of the continent.
When Chen Fei went to Yangjing City, he passed by there, this time it was like going back all over again.
This time, there are two more multi-functional auxiliary ships with a total length of 100 meters in the fleet sequence, fully loaded with various equipment.
“Check the terrain again, have all units completed their memory?”
Balina, the female leader of the “Rageful Demon” mercenary group, once again took over the command of the 1,200 mercenaries. .
It is better to use the raw than the familiar. Since Balina is willing to establish a long-term cooperation, Chen Fei does not mind continuing to appoint this female commander who is familiar with the business.
“The first team’s ‘Witchers’, ‘Blood-Eyed Dogs’, ‘Crazy Bicycles’, and ‘Vicious Code’ teams have all been memorized.”
"The second brigade's 'Nine-Eyed Beast' team has finished memorizing it."
"The third brigade..."
"The fourth brigade..."
"The fifth brigade Brigade..."
The 1,200 people were divided into 5 brigades, composed of various mercenary teams of different sizes. They tried not to split the personnel as much as possible and maintain the integrity and tacit understanding of their respective teams.
The fifth brigade has more small teams, so it is reserved as a reserve team. The other four brigade are the starting teams this time.
“1,209 combatants and 419 logisticians are all ready.”
Balina reported the situation of this mercenary team.
"Check the single-person communication equipment and connect the reconnaissance data."
The visual interface in front of Chen Fei is showing a mountainous area with complex terrain, and there are also forward reconnaissance drones transmitting Back to the supplementary screen.
The combat area is a porous rock deep landform similar to karst landform. The average altitude of the mountain is about two thousand meters. Not only are there many caves and caves, but the vegetation is extremely lush. They are all undeveloped primitive mountain forests. Some towering trees can even Reaching a height of 300 to 400 meters, the diameter of the main trunk exceeds 60 meters. The canopy stretching in all directions covers the sky and the sun. The treetops are often a sunny paradise, but the roots of the trees are a nine-hether hell that cannot be reached.
In order to cope with this special geographical environment, Chen Fei set up special instructions and requirements when issuing commissions through the mercenary guild. Mercenaries without relevant combat experience and abilities will not be able to accept the commission. At the same time, The "Setting Sun Guild" is responsible for sorting and inspecting to prevent mercenaries who are greedy for commissions from cheating and dying in vain.
Therefore, the number of mercenaries successfully recruited in the end could reach 1,200, and some fractions were ignored, and they were all included in the team.
In addition, more than 400 logistics support personnel also came with them. The ratio of logistics to combat personnel was almost one to four. Plus the auxiliary machinery provided by Chen Fei, it was basically enough.
More than 1,200 mercenaries entered the terrain where the destination was located, and basically not even a wave splashed. It was a drop in the bucket. Even if this number was multiplied by ten, there would still be no significant improvement.
Therefore, soldiers are more valuable than more. What Chen Fei needs these mercenaries to do is to remain vigilant, act as eyeliners, wait for the battle to end, clean up the battlefield, charge into battle, etc. Not only are they useless, but they are not enough to watch.
"Start releasing mercenaries now!"
After retrieving the intelligence returned from the drone reconnaissance, Chen Fei asked the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" to execute the command to release the landing craft and cooperate with the two transport ships , dropping 1,000 mercenaries on the ground in groups one after another, and opening a large net to avoid fish slipping through the net.
Several colorful spells fell from the sky, turning some trees into powder silently, and the landing craft carrying the mercenaries immediately completed the landing in the opened forest clearing.
Following the landing were four hundred combat robots and tens of thousands of intelligent mechanical scorpions, holding two hydraulic shears and pulling eight legs. Not only did they have lights on their tails, but they also had automatic Armed with cameras, they flooded into the mountains and forests like a tide, constantly searching every inch of the ground and not missing any suspicious ground cracks or caves.
These mechanical bodies controlled by the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" are the main force of Chen Fei's search targets.
Fortunately, the plural form of "Adam" is a ring topology, and each copy is relatively independent. If it is a derivative of "Cybertrom", most of the computing pressure will be on the server side, and I am afraid there will still be One or more powerful professional computing servers must be prepared for this purpose.
So the "Cybertrom" body hovering in low-Earth orbit is so huge that it can even easily accommodate the "Halo" gate on this side of the Blue Star.
"Nothing!"
The "Yellow Bird" team responsible for the flagship's security work is still assembled on the bridge, guarding their employer Chen Fei while continuing to stand by.
After a large number of mercenaries, combat robots and foot-long mechanical scorpions scattered into the mountain forest, they disappeared without a trace, and were all swallowed up by the mountains and forests below.
Boom! ~
Without any warning, a collaboration ship at 4 o'clock suddenly opened fire. The side ship's railgun team fired four 152mm caliber anti-explosive bombs in succession, exploding in the forest. Lots of fire.
The pale white shock wave halo instantly swept across a kilometer radius, and countless sparks were thrown out from the dense forest. Although the impact point could not be seen, the power of the artillery bombardment was not compromised at all. The killing effect of heavy artillery was to shock and kill. , rather than shrapnel fragmentation.
A large number of birds flew from the canopy of the trees, animals flew away, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling in the forest came one after another.
"What's going on?"
The mercenary commander Balina asked. She is still on one of the transport ships, where there is a backup command center.
But the real command center headquarters is on the bridge of the flagship, presented in Chen Fei's visual interface, and superimposed in the form of AR assistance, making full use of the limited field of view.
"Ferocious monsters are found, eliminate them in advance."
Chen Fei replied calmly, the impact point of the missile is less than 800 meters away from the second brigade, and there is a high probability that the two sides will encounter each other.
A small drone returned from the impact point carrying the biological samples it had just collected.
If the image transmitted back through a certain mechanical scorpion is correct, the so-called "ferocious monster" should be the mutant XR-0079, which only appeared on Blue Star fifteen years ago. (End of this chapter)
